TheSuperNerd:
The Bank-on Candidates to be Osimhen's genuine back-up especially as regards how we play in attack now...

The "bonafide" options:

- David Okereke

- Sadiq Umar

- Peter Olayinka

- Cyriel Dessers

- Kelechi Iheanacho (once that January move happens and he gets playing again and keeps showing good form)







The Dark horse Option(s); In with a chance probably in the long run if they step things up:

- Stephen Odey

- Josh Maja

- Taiwo Awoniyi





The "Manage-manage/mediocre" options (Not suited to how we play in attack):

- Ebere Paul Onuachu

- Simy Nwankwo

- Anthony Ujah

Let's be honest; Iheanacho should be under category 2 & 3 above

Joebie:
I think Rabiu Ibrahim should get another look in as AM, as we wait on a move for Ejaria

Why bro

Joebie:
when tournament don near I go always talk TRUTH

Yea, you have a point

Joebie:
IN A FRIENDLY we would manage at least a win, a couple or more draws and at least a loss. Overall, an average score.
BUT IN A TOURNAMENT I can't be very confident yet....

I can understand the bolded

Na you sabi

You no go leave ororo alone. I know say na Penaldo you wan talk

timay:
The way y'all think that Collins will start in the afternoon, because according to you guys he's a sure banker to start as long as Rohr is coach.
Even Etebo won't say this. I'm sure he Knows that he now has work to do.

This is not the era of local coaches where senior team players just stroll into start line ups , even though there are better performing and deserving players. This time around, you are as good as your current form, and no more guaranteed spots. Rohr has shown us this time and time again

Agreed without reservation

[quote author=lexyman post=84126157][/quote]I disagree with your views on austria

They are currently second in their Euro 2020 qualifiers table and are on the verge of qualifying

And yes, Ukraine is slightly above denmark

Eartquake1:
On the contrary I want us to face a hardworking Japanese side

I want to see how our players will cope with 90 mins of running

hmmmm.....thou hast a point

On another note. What are the chances of the Super Eagles if we should play the following teams (in a friendly or tournament)?

1. England

2. Portugal

3. Croatia

4. Austria

5. Denmark

I know elite European clubs are already looking at Osimhen but make our boy use him head ooo

Regular playing time should be paramount in making a choice....money is secondary (although also important)

Looking back at the match highlights again, I think Awaziem may have been exposed a couple of times too

Icon4s:
Victor Osimhen is a beast. 2goals 2 assists!

But now we need a deputy. For me Onuachu is not an option.

Exactly bros. As i said earlier, I don't even mind drafting Olayinka or Bona to deputise for him

mostob:
sad...very very sad

Don't worry

Friendlies against quality Europeans go dey...I trust Rohr on this

forgiveness:
Very impressive scoreline though it could have been more than that due to missed chances. However, the team still lacks in some certain areas. Especially, the wing backs, where we were exposed several times and conceded the first goal from the right back.

Aina should be moved back to his natural position while we look at Chima Okoroji for redemption at the LB. Pending the time we try him, Idowu should be allowed to play on the LB. He is better than Collins both defensively and offensively.

Rohr should also look for a back up for Aina and Oshimen. I suggest Kingsley Ehizibue be given a look at. He seems to be more attack minded than Ebuehi. I have not written off Ebuehi oooo.

On the other hand, we need a better back up for Oshimen. We don't need to realize or start looking for one during crises.

Moreover, Iwobi's position needs a better player.

Exactly bro

Philosopher1979:
I THINK ROHR SHOULD STAY UNTIL 2022 WORLD CUP.
THAT WAY HE WILL BUILD A STRONG TEAM
HE HAS TRIED AND HE AT LEAST HAS SOMETHING TO OFFER
WE SHOULD JUST WORK ON THE FACT THAT HE SHOULD LIVE IN NIGERIA
AND TRY AND USE HOME BASED PLAYERS.
LET US LEAVE HIM AS COACH
I WANT TO KNOW PEOPLE'S OPINION ON THIS.
SHOULD ROHR STAY UNTIL 2022 WORLD CUP OR LEAVE NEXT YEAR
I PERSONALLY BELEIVE HE SHOULD STAY AS THE ADVANTAGES
ARE MORE THAN THE DISADVANTAGES.
HE SEEMS TO BE BUILDING A STRONG TEAM THAT CAN DOMINATE AFRICAN
AND WORLD FOOTBALL FOR SOME TIME TO COME

Even if they are not good enough?

It isn't Rohr's responsibility to pander to the whims of an NFF and LMC that refused to improve on the NPFL quality

OMANBALA1:
Ndidi and Aribo gave away many passes

I will put Aribo's performance today to burnout

somehow:
2 back to back matches for Akpeyi with good rating and no errors from him.

Interesting

I won't be so quick to conclude

We played against teams we are supposed to beat and ................

Meliforme:
I am hankering to indulge my vision watching the H.O.C
H = Henry.
O = Osimhen.
C = Chukwueze.

Unless the "H" improves

andrewbaba44:
Ebuehi on the right where?

Wait he should start having game time before considering him

Dont be surprised to see collins start next game the eagles will play

I agree

MetalJigsaw:
Thanks to his honest player selections.

Gbam. You cannot do evil and expect to reap good results. Its that simple....the law of nature

TheSuperNerd:
Osimhen Masterclass, Aina oozing Elite Wingback class, Chukwueze-Osimhen Combo, Ndidi Midfield Marshal, Awaziem Solid, Azeez sweet assist, Iwobi creativity and quick link up plays and more all found in the clip.... Enjoy (for those especially who missed it).

The Highlights... 10mins +

Sorry, did Aribo play?

Couldn't watch the match

I hope Osimhen continues this way but I worry about burnout

I will prefer Rohr draft in Olayinka or Bona to help shoulder some responsibilities upfront

Onuachu is a no-no

We need more reinforcements in the defence and GK departments as well

Good win for us all the same

andrewbaba44:
I have that feeling that tomori might not make that squad, but i hope i he makes it sha, even if na bench e go dey

How can tyrone mings be ahead of tomori?

English sentiment.

Happy sunday bro

TheSuperNerd:
Yup. Would be hellish getting him to switch now. Even if we do begin his allegiance switch today, it would take months before he is finally cleared to play for us.

Let's just admit we've lost him.

On to the next one

Joebie:
We need more depth in competition. I'm not rubbishing Omeruo and co.

I was speaking with Andrew the other day about Tue need to strengthen out defence because we have been conceding too much this pas few days but he disagreed citing the facts that every team concedes goals too.

I hope today's match is an eye opener

Joebie:
Musa's invitation came too early. Let the guy recover and be back to top form first. The likes of Olayinka, Ejuke, Dennis are in top form and should be giving a fair chance now.

Abeg....

Musa and Iwobi are like NEPA light. You never know when they perform well and they are equally as lethargic

Truidstar:
We now qualify easily for tournaments since Rohr came on board. We were shouting for Osimhen during the Afcon, some on here say he is not ready.

Tbh, he wasn't at that time

godspeed:
A new fan

Old pic.

The world is now in 2019

charlesemeka85:
My brother left for me instead to replace Rohr with our local coaches mk dem disband super eagles.

I dey tell you.

The day one kpangolo local coach takes over SE job is the day I stop watching SE matches and I mean what I say

Humility017:
Imama to take over from ROhr next year....

Inside life

tbaba1234:
And please we need to stop the Nwakali hype, the boy is an average player. Same goes for Azubuike.

Shey boys dey talk am here.

To think some were saying he is the needed no 10 for the SE

timay:
And they want us to sack the coach of the Only functional team we have, so that they can employ the serial local failures to infect the team with their failures.

No mins those clamoring for Rohr sack. He might not be very tactical bit he's the best we've had in a while for the Super Eagles
